A/HRC/44/19 are innovative tools that aim to support the follow-up efforts made by Member States and to stimulate further national level implementation. 65. In particular, OHCHR encourages Resident Coordinators and United Nations country teams to ensure that clustered recommendations of the human rights mechanisms are integrated into the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Frameworks signed at the country level and are integrated into efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Indeed, the new United Nations Development Assistance Framework Guidelines acknowledge that the recommendations of human rights mechanisms are essential for the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals. Accepted recommendations from the universal periodic review are an important entry point, and this is increasingly being recognized by OHCHR and the rest of the United Nations system. 66. In 2020 the Secretary-General is expected to issue practical guidance for all United Nations officials at Headquarters, as well as for United Nations missions and United Nations country teams, on maximizing the use of the universal periodic review to achieve the greatest impact at the country level. The guidance will outline how the universal periodic review can serve as an entry point for engagement with Member States. The text should guide action on human rights by United Nations entities in line with their mandates and in support of specific Sustainable Development Goal targets and indicators. The release of the practical guidance could also mean a further increase in the catalytic role played by the Voluntary Fund in the implementation of recommendations from the universal periodic review, owing to growing requests by Member States and the increasing United Nations engagement in the countries in this area. 67. In 2020, it is envisaged that the Voluntary Fund will be supporting at least 25 projects in countries in Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Central Asia and in the Middle East and North Africa. This represents an increase of 84 per cent in terms of proposals received from Member States in comparison with 2019, following one of the main recommendations made by the Board of Trustees to OHCHR, to increase the use of the Voluntary Fund. OHCHR will continuously rethink and revitalize its strategic vision for follow-up support with the advice of the Board of Trustees of the Voluntary Fund, in order to target more effective support to States in their efforts to implement, as a minimum, accepted universal periodic review recommendations. Underlying principles for the allocation of Voluntary Fund resources will include support for building national implementation capacities that are efficient and sustainable, in line with the vision outlined by the Secretary-General in his most recent reports. 68. OHCHR reiterates the importance of the active participation of other stakeholders in the follow-up processes and will endeavour to explore ways through which stakeholders may also benefit from the Voluntary Fund, either directly or indirectly, by becoming involved in the technical cooperation and assistance programmes of the States concerned that are assisted by the Voluntary Fund. 15
